Do you regularly experience instances that can’t be explained or rationalized? Maybe you wonder if you have psychic abilities, but you aren’t quite sure. Chances are that if you are asking the question, “am I psychic?”, then you probably have extrasensory abilities to predict, sense, or know things.

What is a psychic?

A psychic has a strong sense of intuition or sixth sense that enables them to know or see beyond their physical surroundings. Unusual experiences and extrasensory perception are part of daily life for psychics. And many of us have psychic gifts that largely go unnoticed.

Think about when you have a hunch or a gut instinct that something is going to happen; that strong intuition is a psychic ability. But like anything else, psychic gifts require practice, training, and cultivation to develop further.

Here’s an example of precognition from my daily life:
This summer, I was camping with my husband, son, and four fur-children. It had just stopped raining when my senior dog Betsey laid down in a hole, spilling red dirt over her back paws. Simultaneously I heard a strong internal voice say, “within a week, Betsey will pass and be buried in the same red dirt.” As this was happening, I saw the future, standing over Betsey's grave.

Six days later, Betsey passed and we buried her, exactly like my future vision.

This type of premonition has happened so many times over the course of my life that I didn’t doubt it for a second. I knew that there was nothing that I could do to change what would inevitably happen within a week, but I also knew that I wasn’t meant to change it; instead, it felt like a divine warning to prepare myself.

So how do you know whether you are psychic? How do you know whether what you’re experiencing is real?

Here are ten subtle signs you may be psychic:

1. Strong intuition

Have you ever had a strong intuitive feeling about the future, and then it happened? Or maybe your sixth sense gives you warnings of impinging danger or illness. This strong extrasensory perception means that you have psychic abilities just waiting for you to notice them.

2. Déjà vu (French for “already seen”)

This is when something happens in the present that seems to have happened before. It’s a clear sense even though you may or may not remember the event. Déjà vu also involves having knowledge or perception of future events that you cannot change.

Have you ever met someone whom you felt that you’d met before, or been somewhere that your subconscious seems to remember? This is a clear sign that you’ve already “seen” it.

3. Clairvoyance

Do you have visions such as shadows or figures moving out of the corner of your eye? A clairvoyant is a person who receives intuitive information visually. You may see symbols, images, colors, or have dreams that communicate a deeper meaning. This sense can be seen either with the physical eyes or within your mind's eye.

4. Psychometry

This is a phenomenon where you can sense or experience the past through touch. This ability allows you to see or know the past of a person, animal, plant, object, or place by touching it.

5. Intense, vivid, and abnormal dreams

Can you remember every detail of your dreams? Are your dreams intense, very vivid, or different than most people's dreams? This is a strong indicator of psychic powers. And because dreams are rich in meaning and symbols, this is an especially effective way to interact with your psyche and be guided by spirit.

6. Future foreseeing or precognition

Have you ever seen the future before it happened? Maybe you felt like taking a different route home and later heard of a serious accident on your usual route. This is a crystal clear sign that you have psychic abilities, especially when you are correct about the precognition. A word to the wise: don’t ignore this one!

7. Sensing spirits

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you, but no one was around? Or you may feel the presence of spirits even if you cannot see them. This is a common psychic ability where you clearly feel a presence from “beyond the veil.”

8. Clairaudience

If you have this psychic power, you may hear music, buzzing, chimes, ringing sounds, or human voices that others do not. It could be either internal or external. This means that your psychic abilities manifest through the auditory senses.

9. Clairsentience

Clairsentients feel energy strongly. You may sense other’s emotions or have a clear knowing through feeling or sensing what is around you. You may walk into a room and feel the tension even if everything seems fine. Or you may visit a place and feel drained or nervous, but you can’t quite figure out why. This is the gift of psychic sensing.

10. Telepathy

Telepathy is much more common than you might think. Do you communicate with others through your mind? Or receive intuitive pieces of information in return? Or you may be able to read other’s thoughts outright. This is a clear sign that you are connecting with the consciousness of others.

Having psychic abilities doesn’t have to be as unusual or as scary as the world tells us. Rather, by allowing ourselves to tap into our powers, we can better understand ourselves and the world around us while embracing the beautiful synchronicities and experiences that guide us on our journey.

What psychic abilities do you have? Do you use them? How do they guide you?
